“The Walking Weapon” was among the many wrestlers affected by the tragic, untimely passing of WWE Superstar Bray Wyatt (Windham Rotunda).
IMPACT Wrestling star Josh Alexander took to social media after learning of the news of Wyatt’s passing to share a touching story about his interaction with “The Eater of Worlds” while working as an extra for WWE.
“It was 2012,” Alexander began. “I’m backstage as an extra at WWE sitting in front of the monitor just trying to be invisible. As the show started Windham turned around noticing how nervous I was & said welcome. He told me to soak it all in & keep working. I watched in awe as he greeted everyone with the biggest smile & they all shared laughs throughout the show.”
Alexander continued, “I always remembered how kind he was to someone as insignificant as me at the time. How he just took the time. I didn’t think I really knew the man. But reading everyone’s posts over the last day makes me think that kindness, that smile that energy he had that I saw was truly him. It’s so tragic. My heart goes out to the whole Windham family. R.I.P. Windham I have not & will never forget you.”
